If it was not for the enabling of despot organizations and nations to inflict great damage on the U.S. and our allies, the ‘Wet Noodle’ U.S. Foreign policy and disastrous diplomatic efforts of recent months would make for hilarious late night material.

Iran:

 No surprises here!  We have “engaged” Iran in talks and our utmost concern over their nuclear and regional ambitions for instance the annihilation of Israel.  Iran much like North Korea have been scared silly (note the ever so slight hint of sarcasm) by the very strongly worded letters emanating from the Desk of the President and the video montages being issued by Secretary of State Clinton and her intellectual elitist gang headed up by none other than PJ Crowley.  Apparently the very strongly worded letters have made Iran quit their nuclear program and not seek to rid the earth of the Jew and Israel.  Great Job!

“The incident was clearly humiliating for the Secretary of State, and strikingly illustrates the futility of the Obama Administration’s failed policy of “constructive engagement” with Iran, which the European Union has been trying for a decade without success. Tehran’s nuclear programme continues to march forward in the face of Washington’s weak-kneed approach, and we are now perilously close to having a nuclear-armed rogue state.

It is hard to see what the United States gains from its most senior diplomat reaching out to the Iranian Foreign Minister. It has echoes of British officials shaking hands with the representatives of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, as though it were a civilised regime that played by the rules of international diplomacy.”

Hillary Clinton’s humiliation by Iran’s Foreign Minister illustrates the futility of appeasement

North Korea (see We Are All Dead Now: This is Not Your Fathers North Korea):

We have the President of The United States of America in a gesture of supreme weakness calling the Premier of China asking him for help with North Korea! (appeasement) 

Anyone with the slightest knowledge and experience of the shared histories and attached cultural attributes of the Northeast Asia region, not to mention political and military histories, would recognize this as complete capitulation of any real or perceived influence or power in the situation tantamount to bowing to show the back of your neck to be hacked off by sword.

The current U.S. administration is playing a very naive and dangerous game.  China, Russia and North Korea all smell the blood in the water to bring down the U.S., South Korea and Japan.

All the regional players laughed at the U.S. response to the latest attack by its sending of the paper flotilla.

It is hard to conceive of a more dangerous time in our history with the 3am calls coming in and no one  home to answer the challenges.
